Water Margin people

Chapter 40
"Vegetarian dishes are here!"

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er came out of the back kitchen with several plates of vegetables and a plate of tofu.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that there is going to be a war with Xixia, have any troops passed by in the past two months?"

Sun Lei looked at the plates of green vegetables and tofu and did not move his chopsticks, but left the shopkeeper to ask.

"Guest officer, I don't know how to answer this question. There are too many people coming and going on this road."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"I'm talking about hundreds of people. They should be the officers and soldiers of the East Road."

Sun Lei frowned and asked, there are many people on the road, but there are still very few such teams of hundreds of people. It is impossible not to notice when opening a shop on this roadside.

"Hundreds of people? Oh, in the middle of last month, four to five hundred people did go there, and then turned back to Taiyuan Mansion."

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and then replied.

"Really went back to Taiyuan Mansion?"

Shi Jin stood up all of a sudden, looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"It's going to Taiyuan Mansion. This road can only go west to Taiyuan Mansion."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Thank you shopkeeper, come, sit down and have a drink!"

Sun Lei walked up to the shopkeeper, grabbed the shopkeeper's shoulder and pressed on the stool, poured a bowl of wine for the shopkeeper to drink.

"The guest officer is too polite. Does this shop have any customers who drink together? How many guest officers drink, how many guest officers drink!"

The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly when he saw the bowl of wine, but refused to drink it.

"Shopkeeper, you are toasting and not eating fine wine!"

Sun Lei pressed the shopkeeper who wanted to get up with one hand, and held the bowl of wine in the other hand to force feed the shopkeeper.

"You ruthless birds, I wanted to knock you out before killing you, but now it seems that I can only peel you alive!"

Xiao Er came out of the back kitchen with seven or eight strong men holding sharp knives, each of them was vicious.

"Huh, let me tell you, I am the iron hell king Zhang Lao Liu, you guys who are on orders come to my shop and still want to get out alive? You guys are fat and tender enough to cut beef and mutton and sell them for a few days As for this old guy, find a place to bury him!"

Seeing that the hands of the shopkeeper came out, he broke free from Sun Lei's hand, ran to the clerk, looked at Sun Lei and his group and said with a grim expression.

"So you just pick and kill those who are alone?"

Sun Lei looked at the people in front of him with his whistle stick and asked.

"I'll let you be sensible ghosts when you die. I haven't opened a shop here for a day or two. If you meet those people who go out together more often, let them go. Let them help me make my name. Only those who are on orders like you will bring them along." A dead ghost with a big bag of luggage, no one will know if he kills it, and if he steals the money, he can sell it for beef and steamed stuffed buns.”

The shopkeeper smiled ferociously.

"It turned out that it was a matter of money."

Sun Lei looked at the horses and donkeys at the door. There were still a lot of boxes and baggage on the horses' backs, and he knew at a glance that there were a lot of goods.

"Kill me!"

The shopkeeper looked greedily at the box on the horse's back, and he could tell at a glance that it was filled with gold and silver, and only gold and silver could be so heavy.

"You gangsters who seek wealth and murder, you harm people as soon as you hurt them, and you still trade human skin and flesh. It is a heinous crime! Today, the Sa family met me, and I will send you to hell to go up the mountain of knives and down the pan of oil to forgive your sin!"

Lu Zhishen was furious, he swung his Zen staff and beat them to death, he wanted to kill all these villains.

Lu Zhishen's water-grinding Zen stick is so powerful, those villains with sharp knives are no match for Lu Zhishen at all, just two or three Zen sticks sent those people to hell.

"The good man spares his life, but the young one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so he bumped into the good man! I don't know the good man's name, but the young one is also a good man in the world."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Iron King Zhang Laoliu immediately knelt down and asked Lu Zhishen his name.

"Master Lu, this is also a hero, you should kneel down and worship him."

Sun Lei looked at all this amusedly and shouted.

"You bunch of birds are not worthy of asking about the name of the Sa family!"

When Lu Zhishen was run over by Sun Lei, he was even more furious. He was ashamed of all the heroes who came along the way, one was not as good as the other, and if this continued, he would not dare to call himself a hero.

A Zen staff stabbed at Zhang Laoliu, and the crescent blade cut Zhang Laoliu's neck neatly.

"It can't be cheap for them, let me see how much money there is."

Sun Lei went behind the counter to rummage through the money. After fighting the monsters, he would naturally look at the drops. He came all the way from Wutai Mountain, and the monsters dropped well. It can be said that he made a lot of money.

"What do you want for those dirty money!"

When Lu Zhishen saw that Sun Lei found some silver, he hummed with some lingering anger.

"If you are a monk, you can ask for alms, and you can place an order if you go to a temple. Free food and lodging. Of course, it doesn't cost much. We want it! If Shi Jin didn't have money, why did he rob you in the red pine forest? Even the old woman is like this. Don’t you buy some delicious food and drink to make up for it? You have to see a doctor when you arrive in the city, don’t these cost money?”

Sun Lei rolled Lu Zhishen's eyes, a penny is hard for a hero, how can a real man go out without money?It's a pity that Lu Zhishen was a monk, and monks were not short of money no matter in that era.

Shi Jin's face was flushed, and the matter of cutting the red pine forest was brought up again, which made him a little embarrassed.

"I'll go see if there are any thieves hiding behind!"

Lu Zhishen, who was speechless by Sun Lei, could only go to the back kitchen with his Zen staff to see if there were any fish caught.

"I advise you not to go."

Sun Lei packed up the money, which was enough for hundreds of pennies, and some delicate jewelry, so he went out after packing.

"Why? There are thieves inside?"

Lu Zhishen stopped and looked back at Sun Lei and asked.

"No, I'm afraid it will affect your appetite at night."

Sun Lei helped the old woman onto the donkey and was ready to set off.

"Brother, I will accompany you in!"

Shi Jin thought he was brave, so he went in with Lu Zhishen, holding a whistle stick.

There was nothing unusual in the back kitchen. There were vegetables and some cooked meat on the chopping board next to the stove, which looked like an ordinary kitchen.

"Brother, there is a small door here!"

With sharp eyes, Shi Jin saw a small door in the corner.

"Go, go in and have a look, maybe there are villains!"

Lu Zhishen walked up to Shi Jin with his Zen stick, and shoveled the black wooden door to pieces with one touch of the Zen stick. An unpleasant bloody smell gushed out from the small door. Shi Jin turned pale when he smelled it. A look of discomfort.

"What hell dares to scare Sajia!"

Lu Zhishen was used to seeing big scenes, how could he be frightened by the bloody smell, so he walked in with a Zen stick.

Entering the small door, Lu Zhishen was so frightened by the situation inside that he even took a step back. The first thing he saw was the big bloody chopping board in the middle of the room, on which half the corpse of an adult man was placed. Cut off, the torso was also cut open, the internal organs inside had been emptied long ago, and the red flesh looked particularly creepy,

Several iron hooks hung from the beams on the chopping board. Human hands and legs were hung on the hooks. There was a large wooden basin under the chopping board, which was full of blood and human internal organs. The ground was dark red and sticky when stepped on. The soil was soaked in blood, and there were still seven or eight pieces of human skin hanging on the wall beside it. A large pile of white bones faced the corner of the wall, and there were several human skulls on top of the bones. It was a scene only seen in purgatory.
